I am thinking after my two last questions and the feed back I've gotten that it's just so absurd. If the millions of the people who've died and the ones who will live forever, where is god going to place them? Then there would be an overpopulated world.........or is there another place called earth #2? Besides things we say can be lost in translation, how would I know for sure that the 66 books in the bible are accuarte?

I have never seen one man or woman for that matter get it right much less 40 men. The Bible has at least 40 authors of thier own time and period. I don't believe they got it all right or that they didn't put thier own personalities and agenda's in there. I don't believe the Bible is 100 % accurate or even applicable. I do believe that it is a treasured historical document with moral and spiritual merit. How you use that is up to the individual. I think that the spirit of The Creator (Mother/Father God) lives inside of me and helps me to know what has merit and what is twaddle.

Truly there are many things in the Bible that I cant explain but I accept as truth because of faith. If you believe God created the heavens and the Earth then you must believe he can and will restore thew earth to its original form untouched by man and our destructive ways.
Earth #2 Where do you feel God is?
Heaven, again I speak of faith.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, so that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.

God has a place in heaven for his people. It will not be overpopulated because there are many people who aren't going to be there. And as for accuracy, read it and you will no what it says. Most bibles have footnotes. If you don't understand or not sure of the accuracy, get another one and compare.

The Bible of The True Christian Faith does noy "prove" God... but... God will prove The Bible to all who come to Him in The Way He prescribes. Only those open to the leading of God, through The Holy Spirit, will find what God has for them there.
The Bible is not for those who are not open to God.
There indeed will be an "earth 2" as you call it.... and it will be more than adiquate for all who God will place there.

Superstition and myth are as ancient as mankind itself. Man has feared death and the unknown so he creates a way to escape the inevitability of death... hence the creation of the afterlife, a life after death... this has comforted many people.
The Bible is sacred to believers, it doesn't have to be accurate.

Your using man made parameters to define God and His kingdom. It can't be done. Obviously God uses a perspective far different from ours, just accept that you won't be able to make earthly sense out of every concept.

Earth will be destroyed, ALL believers will be resurrected unto heaven and ALL nonbelievers will be sent to hell forever.
